* sweet little angel

I got a sweet little angel, i love the way she spreads her wings,

I got a sweet little angel, i love the way she spreads her wings, now,

She spread her wings around, i get joy in everything.



Asked my baby for a nickel, she gave me a twenty dollar bill, now,

I asked my baby for a nickel, she gave me a twenty dollar bill, now,

Asked my baby for a drink of liquor, she gave me a whiskey still, ah.



* it's my own fault

It's my own fault baby, treat me the way you wanna do now,

It's my own fault baby, treat me the way you wanna do now,

Cause when you were lovin me little woman,

I been down-hearted baby, ever since the day that we met,

Our love is nothin but the blues, lord, how blue can you get?

Bought you a ten dollar dinner, you said thanks for the snack.

Now our love is nothin but the blues.
